His style shows people the unique charm of late Tang poetry, but the poems about history and homesickness in their poems show us the worries of two late Tang poets and their different attitudes towards life.
Keywords: Li Shangyin Du Mu's poems about history and nostalgia.
The Tang Dynasty is the most brilliant era of China's poetry achievements, and famous poets are like dazzling stars in the sky. However, in the past, people's evaluation of the achievements of late Tang poetry was low and unfair. Although the poetry in the late Tang Dynasty is not as dazzling as that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it can also be called the afterglow of the sunset glow, and the two brightest rosy clouds in this afterglow are the outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty, and they are also called "Little Du Li" in the history of literature-Li Shangyin and Du Mu. Here, through a simple comparison of their poems about history and nostalgia, I understand the beauty of their poems.
First, the poet's feelings behind the monuments.
Du Li, the most accomplished poet in the late Tang Dynasty, left us many excellent poems about history and homesickness at the same time, but his thoughts and feelings behind chanting things were different.
(1) No matter whether the poets chant historical poems or ancient poems, they all reflect the allegory of the supreme ruler at that time with historical themes, and reflect their views and opinions on contemporary society with historical events.
1, satirizing the supreme ruler at that time by historical events. For example, "Chang 'an looks back at the embroidered pile, and the top of the mountain opens a thousand doors" in Du Mu's "Three Poems of Crossing the Qing Palace". Riding the world of mortals and laughing, who knows it is litchi. ""Xinfeng green trees are yellow and gray, and they ride a few times to catch Yang agent to make it back. Nishang is on the Thousand Peaks, and the dance collapses in the original. " Through the well-known stories of Yang Guifei and Tang, the poet implicitly expressed the fact that the ruler spared no expense to win the favor of beauty, which shows how arrogant and extravagant his usual life is! Another example is "Seven Wonders"? "Park Qinhuai" mentioned that "the smoke cage is full of sand in the cold moon, and the night park is near Qinhuai restaurant. Strong women in business do not know how to hate the country, but also sing backyard flowers across the river. " The poem "Flowers in the Back Garden" sung by a businesswoman in a restaurant is said to have been written by Chen Houzhu, and later generations thought it was "the voice of national subjugation". Poetry seems to be a poet's condemnation of the ignorant "national subjugation and hatred for the rich" of merchant girls, but in fact, what the singer who waits on people sings depends on the listener's taste, which seems to be criticizing housewives and singing decadent music at home and abroad. In fact, it quoted the allusion of Chen Houzhu's national subjugation and satirized the rulers at that time. Although it is history, the starting point is "today", which reminds people of the decadent subjugation of the Chen Dynasty and the fate of the late Tang Dynasty, and makes a sharp satire on those late Tang rulers who were intoxicated at that time. Another poet, Li Shangyin's Two Poems of the Northern Qi Dynasty, said, "Laugh and you will die. Why bother stabbing?" When the northern Zhou army entered the palace that night, the battle report of the northern Zhou army advancing to Jinyang has been issued. I didn't know that this sweet smile was enough to resist the monarch's hegemony. Princess Feng Shu in military uniform was the most beautiful in the eyes of the queen. Jinyang has been put on trial and invited Wang to hunt around. In contrast, the whole poem successfully depicts such an ironic scene: on the one hand, "Zhou Shi enters Jinyang" is urgent and the situation is grim; On the one hand, it is an honor for the court,
